MICHA CELEBRATES JOANNA MERLIN
On July 15, 2024, the MICHA community came together to celebrate the birthday of our founder, Joanna Merin. Jessica Cerullo crafted a script that intertwined Joanna's words and visions, which were then brought to life by members of the MICHA community.

Fellowships & Research
Our Fellowships provide directors and playwrights a platform to integrate the Michael Chekhov Technique into their work, offering opportunities for practical application, skill advancement, and mentorship by senior faculty and artists.
Our research initiatives, such as the 2021 project "Performing the Archive," explore the Michael Chekhov Archive and encourage creative use of historical insights. This project led to the creation of more than 40 short films by MICHA members, showcasing the technique's modern relevance and adaptability.
The MICHA digital archive is accessible to all MICHA Members.
International Workshop & Festival
MICHA's legacy began with a visionary gathering of international artists, and we continue this tradition through our International Workshop and Festival at Connecticut College in the US.
This dynamic event celebrates the Michael Chekhov Technique, uniting a global community of performers, educators, and researchers. It features innovative performances, intensive training sessions, and insightful research presentations.
Participants can choose from multiple tracks tailored for practitioners, teachers, and scholars, offering specialized workshops, masterclasses, and seminars led by distinguished faculty and guest artists.
